I wonder if you would feel that way if you were one of the artists whose copyrighted media was distributed illegally?
The problem is that copyright last way to fucking long and they keep extending it. It should be the same as patents... 15 years I think. I'm just going to keep xdcc get whatever I want until they fix it.
Well the average career is 30 years. So you think that if I was to start a photography business that at the end of my 30 year run, half of my career should be publicly available? That means that people could use half of my life's work without owing me any compensation? Copyright protects a lot of small creators, not just Disney and the likes.
Good thing you're covered for 70 years after you're dead then
